When we saw Hootie was getting back together for a tour, we scooped up tickets without a second thought. It was a blast. They’re producing a new album, which is scheduled for a November 1 release and I can’t wait to hear it.

Went to see The Verve Pipe last night at the State Theatre in Bay City.

Join The Verve Pipe for an exclusive acoustic performance of their album ‘Villains’ at the State Theatre of Bay City on Friday, October 27. Every song, in sequence – reimagined and performed like you’ve never experienced before.

The album was released in 1996 when I was in the middle of high school, so I listened to “The Freshmen” many many times during those years. Hearing it was definitely the highlight of the night.

After playing through the album the band took an intermission and came back to play a bunch of their newer stuff. The State Theatre seats about 500 people so it was a neat atmosphere where the band sounded great.
